The 3rd leg in Tokyo is finish.
The first task of this leg is at Shibuya Crossing when they search a clue who is on a screen (looks like the 1st leg of TAR19). It's a word in japonese about a famous dog (i forget his name). When they found the word, they say to a man with clue. Some team got problems, especially a M/M team who fall at the last place.
All teams go to a capsule hotel for the night period. Each team will start every ten minutes tomorow.
The day after, teams go to the Raichukainkan Temple for the Roadblock. A task with a sumotori (Japanese Wrestler) and a clue attached to the sumotori. The task is easy because the sumotori is a young men.
After that, teams go in Harajuku with another task. They meet a Manga Fan dressed as Sangoku (if you know dragon ball z) and offer him a pink present (pink is the favorite colour of manga's fan)
The race is not finish at all, a team got a problem with taxi two different times. We are now at the detour Fish/Pasta.
The fish task consisted to fishing 15 goldfish using the technic of a japanese game, goldfish scooping. It's a difficult task.
The other task is also difficult, teams walk with samourai shoes to give pasta soup for 150 meters. If they overturn the recipe, they must restart. 3 teams got problem with this task.
Teams make their way to Hikawa Jingan Shibukya for the 1st u-turn of the history of TAR France. The 1st team u-turn another team (the team who got difficulty with 2 taxis). After that, they go to the pit stop at Odaiba Park.
All teams remain in the race because it's a NEL.
I don't know if the last team to arrived (the team who was u-turn) will have a speed bump.

If the word was "Hachiko", it's a copy of the beggining of the Japanese leg of TAR9. And is also the night at the capsule hotel, only that it was after the leg's Detour in that season.

They used music from the Chronicles of Narnia movie in the third episode. :tup:
Overall, I'm really enjoying this version, the teams are fleshed out pretty well, they're interesting. The locations are great, the tasks are good and overall, I'm impressed. I'm hoping for a second season.
My only complaint is that I'm a little tired/annoyed at the host always talking over the show. this is a TV show, not an audio book, we can see what's happening.
It's definitely a pleasant surprise, I would rank it as currently the fourth best TAR version. Behind the Australian version, the US version, and the Chinese version.

They used music from Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were Rabbit in this episode

The 4th leg was in Hawai.
At first, team make a roadblock at Pearl Harbor, on the USS Missouri. Each contestant must translate a semaphore code with flag. The translation is the next destination, Kawela Bay. 3 teams got problem and 2 contestant of the same team have a quarrel.
After that, team go by car (they drive herself) to Kawela Bay for an overnight period.
Tomorrow, the race continue with a detour rock/ice at Magic Island.
Rock: Each team must take a paddle surf and go in the water to found a rock. They came back to the beach and break the rock.
Ice: Crush ice with a saw.
The pit stop was in a small island, i don't remember the name. The winner is a M/F team and the second team was arrived at the last place of the NEL of the previous leg (and no Speed Bump!). The last team to arrived at the pit stop is a F/F team, they are eliminated.
Next leg at L.A., Hollywood, cars and ice cream are present.
